Using small sketchbooks

Now I find that carrying a small sketchbook is paying off, particularly outdoors.I need to look at the sketchbooks of artists now. Inspired to see that Henry Moore sketched the sheep in the field outside his studio. I have lots of sheep outside the window so that's a start.I have struggled to sketch some local trees and have botched the effect but then I realised that it was the early morning shadows with the trees that say more.
